34: Feral Demon
So wild demons and feral demons are nothing new to longtime readers of Suppression, but those terms are new for the Reboot. I just felt like that was something that deserved consistent terminology.
In other news, I’ve added character pages for Azure, Phylo, Alaster and Cerene.
Woops, looks like using any magic at all is enough to summon a swarm. Now ya fucked up. Interesting to see Alaster have an emotion that’s not snark/smug for once. I guess no matter how tough you are, it sucks to see someone you knew uhhhh join the other side, so to speak.
Also also NEW CHARACTER PAGES YESSSSS. My reactions are as follows;
-Cerene really can’t catch a break in any of her backstories, huh. ;u; At least she’s staying chipper about it.
-Sounds like Phylo is still terrible at making good impressions. I wonder if he’s bitter about being ‘demoted’ to combat teacher though. His prosthetic is still wicked cool looking though. :3c
-Of COURSE Alaster wrote his own entry, I don’t know what else I was expecting for this large ham. I like to imagine that he’s not actually all that riled up all the time, he just has resting murder face.
-I didn’t know much about Azure before, but I love her kind of character type- technically competent, but too lawful to actually bend in a tough situation instead of break. Hopefully we won’t have to see that happen to her, but like. We also know what webcomic we’re reading here. I also have to wonder how much necromancy energy one has to suck up before you end up looking like Sam and Alaster. It says her family is mostly doctors, but she has no trace of it… Additionally, judging from the fact that she now has her own tab in the navigation bar up there next to “Facebook”, we know that she’s the most important character in Suppression. Well done Azure, I’m proud of you.
AND ANOTHER THING because i just realized you can’t edit posts- Barry Bojim is one HELL of a name and its placed him very high on my favorite character list on accident.
When picking people to deliver the first lore entries on each character, I had to use people who have already appeared, and who wouldn’t give away too much. So it’s saying a lot that Alaster is the only one who could possibly do his own entry. Both Arrie and Sam know him too well to keep the enigmatic stabby man clout alive, and Cerene both dismisses him as a pest and considers him a friend, so that dynamic probably needs to be explored in comic rather than on the lore page.
I’m really excited about where all these characters go from here, but it’s nice to branch out and cover my bases on their surface level. Azure in particular is fun because we didn’t get to see ANY of her deal in the first comic. She’s a blank slate that I get to do fresh.
And on the note of Azure… I have no idea what I clicked to get her up on the top bar… I don’t think I would have ever caught it without being told it happened. But it’s fixed now… only your comment will serve to prove that Azure was secretly the key to everything.
Y’know what, that’s fair about Alaster. He’s trying very hard to be intimidating, and god only knows that his cousin would never let him have that. I’m looking forward to seeing the dynamics everyone has with each other! I’m also especially excited about Azure- she really only got her one scene and that was it.
